Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make breaded chicken schnitzel from breast in a frying pan? Rinse the chicken fillet in running water and dry with a paper towel. Then cut lengthwise without cutting to the end. This will result in one large piece of chicken meat.
Step 2:
Put the meat on a board and cover with plastic wrap. Beat off the meat with a cooking hammer. Thanks to the covered film, the edges of the piece will not tear and splashes from the meat will not fly around the kitchen.
Step 3:
Prepare three plates. Break an egg into one of them. Add a little salt and pepper. And chat it with a whisk. Pour flour into the other, and breadcrumbs into the third.
Step 4:
Roll chicken meat in flour, trying to cover the meat from all sides. Then dip in the egg on both sides. Due to the crumbling in flour, the egg will stick better on the meat.
Step 5:
Then roll the meat in breadcrumbs. Press the meat to the breadcrumbs more tightly to form a dense layer of breadcrumbs.
Step 6:
Pour a little vegetable oil into the pan and preheat it to a hot state. Put the chicken schnitzel in the hot oil. Fry it on high heat on both sides for 1-2 minutes on each side. It will turn golden in color.
Step 7:
Then make the fire smaller and fry it for another 3-4 minutes on each side. It is not necessary to cover with a lid, as a dense crispy crust should be preserved. Serve chicken schnitzel as an independent dish, which in itself is very satisfying. Or add any side dish or fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!
Due to the fact that a dense breading is created around the meat, the meat is not fried, but baked under it in its own juice. And, precisely, thanks to the breading, all the juices remain inside the piece.
You can cook schnitzel in double breading. To do this, repeat all the steps of crumbling - flour, egg, breadcrumbs - again.
The dish is prepared very quickly.
If you have enough free time, you can pre-marinate chicken meat so that it is even more fragrant and tastier.
Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
